High Protein Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Dip

Why This Buffalo Chicken Dip Belongs on Your Snack Table

Our family is BIG into game day snacks, from Garlic Parmesan Wings to Cowboy Hamburger Sliders. And this high protein crockpot buffalo chicken dip has earned its way into our regular routine! Here’s what makes it a standout.

• The slow cooker makes it effortless. Just blend the cottage cheese, stir everything together, and let the crockpot do the rest.
• Super creamy with a protein bonus. Cottage cheese gives you that creamy texture with extra protein. Win!
• Perfectly spicy. Buffalo sauce is spicy without being whoa spicy. Plus the cheese helps temper some of the heat. This is a spicy snack everyone will enjoy!
• Great for entertaining. Making it in the crockpot means it’ll keep warm for hours—but I won’t promise it will last that long!

What You’ll Need

Here are notes on the ingredients you’ll need for this high protein crockpot buffalo chicken dip. Scroll down to the recipe card to find the ingredient quantities and recipe instructions.

• Shredded chicken breast – Rotisserie chicken works great, but you can also use leftovers or just cook and shred chicken before starting the recipe.
• Cottage cheese – Blended smooth, it creates a creamy base without heavy cream or cream cheese. You can use full-fat or reduced-fat, but I don’t recommend fat-free.
• Buffalo sauce – I use the Primal Kitchen brand.
• Shredded Mexican cheese – Cheddar, Monterey jack, or pepper jack are also options.
• Seasonings – Garlic powder, smoked paprika, and dry dill.
• Green onions – Optional, for garnish.

• Combine everything. Add all of the ingredients to the crockpot and stir well.
• Slow cook. Cover and cook on LOW for 2 hours.
• Garnish and serve. Top with green onions, if desired.

Tips and Variations

I have a few more notes on this crockpot buffalo chicken dip before you get started!

• Make it extra spicy. For more heat, you can add more buffalo sauce or some cayenne. 
• Add blue cheese. Love your buffalo wings with blue cheese? Sprinkle blue cheese crumbles over the dip before serving. 
• Keep it warm. After 2 hours of cooking, turn the crockpot to the keep warm setting so it stays at a safe temperature while you’re serving it.
